Consider the following two monetary incentives when
purchasing a desktop computer at the regular price of $299.
25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or
More.
$70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More.
Find the final price of the better incentive, after the discount
has been applied. Round the answer to two decimal places.
To find the final price of the better incentive, we need to compare the two options and see which one gives a lower final price.
Option 1: 25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or More
The regular price of the desktop computer is $299. With a 25% discount, the amount saved is 0.25 * $299 = $74.75.
The final price after the discount is $299 - $74.75 = $224.25.
Option 2: $70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More
The regular price of the desktop computer is $299. With a $70 rebate, the final price after the discount is $299 - $70 = $229.
Comparing the two options, we see that the final price with Option 1 is $224.25, which is lower than the final price with Option 2 ($229).
Therefore, the better incentive is Option 1: 25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or More, with a final price of $224.25.
